LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the provisions of that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated December 24, 2009 between Bank and Borrower (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement").

LINE OF CREDIT. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and, upon the request of Borrower, Bank shall advance and readvance under this Note from time to time until the maturity hereof (each an "Advance" and together the "Advances"), so long as the total principal balance outstanding under this Note, plus the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit, plus the aggregate amount of unreimbursed drawings under all Letters of Credit at any one time does not exceed the lesser of (i) the principal amount stated on the face of this Note, or (ii) the Maximum Availability (hereafter defined) subject to the limitations described in the Loan Agreement to which this Note is subject. Bank's obligation to make Advances under this Note shall terminate if Borrower is in Default or a condition exists which, upon the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Default.

Borrower shall continue, to the extent of Borrower's current subscription, to subscribe to Bank's cash management services and the terms of such service shall control the manner in which funds are transferred between the applicable demand deposit account and the line of credit for credit or debit to the line of credit.

AVAILABILITY. The aggregate principal of Advances under this Note, plus the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit, plus the aggregate amount of unreimbursed drawings under all Letters of Credit at any one time shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) $5,300,000.00 or (ii) the Borrowing Base (the "Maximum Availability"). "Borrowing Base" shall mean 80% of Eligible Accounts less any Reserves (as defined in the Loan Agreement at Exhibit B) plus an amount not to exceed: (i) $2,100,000.00 from the date of this Note through May 31, 2010; (ii) $1,800,000.00 from June 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010; (iii) $1,500,000.00 from September 1, 2010 through December 31,. 2010; and (iv) $1,000,000.00 from January 1, 2011 and thereafter (as applicable, the "Over-Advance"). 

USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the commercial purposes of Borrower, solely as follows: (a) for working capital purposes, (b) Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and (c) to refinance the existing indebtedness under the existing line of credit with Bank.

SECURITY. Borrower and Guarantors have granted Bank a security interest in the collateral described in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, personal property collateral described in that certain Security Agreement of even date herewith, as amended.. 

INTEREST RATE. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from the date hereof at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 7.00%, provided further, that the Interest Rate shall in no event be less than 7.00% (the “Interest Rate”). "LIBOR Market Index Rate", for any day, means the rate for one (1) month U.S. dollar deposits as reported on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time) between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 3% ("Default Rate"). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360). Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days in the applicable period ("Actual/360 Computation"). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective interest yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year's period and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized effective rate exceeding the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT TERMS. This Note shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on December 31, 2009, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until fully paid. In any event, all principal and accrued interest shall be due 






2






and payable on March 31, 2011. In the event the aggregate outstanding amount under this Note exceeds the Maximum Availability at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the amount of such shortfall.

AVAILABILITY FEE. Borrower shall pay to Bank quarterly an availability fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the difference between (i) the face amount of this Note and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of this Note, for each day during the preceding calendar quarter or, for the period commencing on the date of this Note and ending December 31, 2009, such portion thereof, and continuing on the same day of each quarter thereafter, with a final payment due and payable on the date that all principal and accrued interest is paid in full. 

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Monies received by Bank from any source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied as set forth in the Loan Agreement. If a Default occurs, monies may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by Bank.

If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.
